IOF heavily opens fire at Gaza protesters, kills Palestinian

A Palestinian citizen was killed and dozens others injured on Friday when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) heavily opened fire at peaceful protesters taking part in the Great March of Return along the border fence east of Gaza.

Gaza Ministry of Health said that Karim Kullab, 25, died after being shot east of Gaza city, while about 312 protesters suffered teargas inhalation and live ammunition wounds.

Thousands of Palestinians marched on 26th Friday of the Great March of Return along the border between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.

The PIC reporter said that Palestinian youths launched fire balloons and kites over the border fence and set dozens of car tires on fire to block the view of IOF snipers who were shooting at the protesters.

Over the past week, the IOF has killed 10 Palestinians and injured hundreds others during the daily protests of the Great March of Return.

Since the start of the Great March of Return in Gaza, 193 Palestinian civilians have been killed, including 32 children, and over 20,000 injured by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes.

The Great March of Return mainly calls for lifting Gaza blockade and for allowing Palestinian refugees to return to their lands from which they were expelled in 1948 as stipulated by UN resolutions, especially Resolution 194 which provides for return or compensation.
